The new batch of Aspergum isn't Schering-Plough after all. Now the brand has apparently been spun off to some outfit in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania, called Heritage Brands division of INSIGHT Pharmaceuticals. Throat Discs have moved on also. It's no wonder we've had "low resistance." CCH ascribes all illness to "low resistance." The germ theory has no role to play. On the other hand, many a government health site recommends influenza and pneumococcal immunizations for those with the old low resistance! To hear CCH tell it, consuming lots of blackstrap molasses is the only reason I'm here today. Malt was tried on me, too, along with the old raw eggs, neither of which I stood for long. In the course of finding a Brer Rabbit molasses label, I found one for Mexican Hot. A tonic? A liniment? A soft drink? And what about Dr. Pepper's Phos-Ferrates for vim, vigor, and vitality, with wheat, iron, and pepsin? I love the hammer and anvil on that one, surrounded with a garland of wheat. There's even an errant horseshoe near the anvil. The new Brer Rabbit labels are disappointing, showing merely a rabbit's head centered in a cameo instead of the two full-legged and costumed specimens that used to flank the label proper.
